@toughDSheridan
Fake news.
Addazio may eventually be fired. Big Al may eventually be hired (as a coordinator or head coach). But, what isn't remotely true is that either decision has officially been made. To show how far-fetched that rumor actually is, Al Washington wasn't on Daz's staff when Jarmond was hired. While he could do some vetting of him as a candidate (through his 1 year with Fickell and half season at OSU), the two likely have never met.
Here's one thing you should remember as we enter the unknown... the least connected/informed group is the former players. Just think back to the Steve Lively days.
Does anyone actually think a decision has been made yet? it's my opinion not even MJ knows at this point.
I'm sure he's thought out what to do based on several outcomes but I think tomorrow's game will have an impact.
I don't think a decision has been made. That said, I don't think tomorrow's game plays much of a factor. Daz's camp publicly pushing for the the Rutgers job likely soured whatever internal support remained.
Jarmond may have a plan as to how he'd like to proceed next week regarding Daz. It is a certainty that this plan has not been solicited to Leahy, the Board, Daz or uninformed alumni groups. BC will deliberately, stubbornly, frustratingly go through all the proper procedures before making any decision. While Jarmond knows how much it will contractually cost to get rid of Daz. What he does not know is whether he can pay him to leave and how much money he will have to pay for the next coach. That is something he needs before determining who he should target. It is a likelihood that there are candidates that Jarmond would like to explore but won't because of financials. This will likely include anyone with a significant buyout from their current team.
The best thing ever would be for Daz to get the RU gig. That will save BC money which will increase the hiring pool which will allow Marty to go after bigger fish. All those giddy about a termination fail to realize the trickle-down negative impact of the buyout. BTW, Al Washington. Mike Reed and Anthony Campanile would all come very, very cheap.
